 Honda to Introduce Revised Engine at Imola Friday April 5th, 2002 Japanese manufacturer Honda will introduce a new evolution of their RA002 engine at next week's San Marino Grand Prix, in the hope of recovering from their worst start of a season since they made their return to Formula One in 2000. Neither the Honda-powered Jordan or British American Racing teams have been able to shine so far this year, failing to score a single point in the first three races that have taken place in 2002. Jordan driver Giancarlo Fisichella has already claimed that the Japanese engine lacks power, and Honda will take the first new specification - the RA002E - to Imola after testing it at Valencia this week, hoping the new unit will be a step forward compared to its predecessor. "Although we've had a tough start to the season we're determined to keep fighting," said Honda's team manager Shuhei Nakamoto. "We're introducing a new evolution of the engine for Imola, which, although it isn't a huge step, is a definite step in the right direction. "Our aim is to produce the best engine in Formula One and ultimately win the World Championship and I am confident that we are taking the first steps to achieve our goal."
